Preparation for Higher Education

We believe the majority of our students should be joining our sixth form with the long term aim of applying to university. University study is not for everybody and we do offer support in gaining work experience, apprenticeships and employment for those who feel further study is not for them. However, we do have an academic focus and encourage most students to aspire to, and plan for higher education from very early on in their post-16 studies.

WE OFFER:

Annual group visits to university open days

Annual group visit to the Higher Education Fair (London Olympia)

Annual group visit to Oxford University (all science students)

Introduction to Higher Education session for parents and students

Tutorial sessions focusing on aspects of the application process

Higher Education seminar (student finance, how to choose courses, how to choose universities, how to get work experience, how to log-in to UCAS)

Application and interview skills seminars for those aspiring to ‘Selective’ universities
